1. If I don’t want to be allocated to a SCoPEd framework column can I opt out and will there be a separate register?Ìý

As Â鶹ԭ´´ has adopted the SCoPEd framework, we’ve agreed with partners to align our membership categories to the standards of the SCoPEd columns, so you won’t be able to opt out of being aligned to a SCoPEd framework column and there will be no separate register.

2. Do I have to advertise my SCoPEd framework column?

It’s your choice whether to mention SCoPEd within your advertising. If you do wish to, please see below for guidance:

Student, individual and retired members: are not represented in the SCoPEd framework as the framework represents qualified therapists who have joined our register, so, you shouldn’t describe your competences and practice standards as being aligned to the SCoPEd framework within your advertising materials.

Our registered membership category is aligned to column A in the SCoPEd framework. As a Registered member, you can refer to your competences and practice standards as being aligned to column A within your advertising materials. You can practise competences in other SCoPEd framework columns providing you have the right skills, knowledge, training and experience to do so, but you’re unable to advertise that you’re aligned to SCoPEd columns B or C.

Our accredited membership category isÌýaligned to column B in the SCoPEd framework. As an accredited member, you can refer to your competences and practice standards as being aligned to column B within your advertising materials. You can practise competences from column C of the SCoPEd framework provided you have the right skills, knowledge, training and experience to do so, but you’re unable to advertise that you’re aligned to column C of the SCoPEd framework.

Our senior accredited membership category is aligned to column C of the SCoPEd framework. As a senior accredited member you can refer to your competences and practice standards as being aligned to column C of the SCoPEd framework within your advertising materials.Ìý

3. Is there specific wording I must or can use if I wish to advertise my SCoPEd framework column on my website or in other promotional materials?

Yes, our promoting your membership webpage provides guidance on how to refer to your membership being aligned to a specific SCoPEd column.

4. If I’m aligned to another SCoPEd column with another PCPB partner can I mention that in my advertising materials?

If you have membership with another PCPB partner and you’re aligned to a different column of the SCoPEd framework with them, you can reference that within your advertising materials. You must however ensure that you reference that alongside that partners’ membership category, not Â鶹ԭ´´â€™s.
